Sheffield Wednesday were dumped out of the League Cup by Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday.
A strong-looking Sheffield Wednesday side was knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday.

Few Owls players who started the match emerged from it with any credit, with Joe Wildsmith, Ross Wallace and Fernando Forestieri all receiving their fair share of criticism.
However, it is the performance of Almen Abdi, who cost Carlos Carvalhal’s side more than £3 million a year ago (Transfermarkt), which appears to have caused the most alarm.
